‘Last summer, a woman and a man were embracing blissfully at a Coldplay concert when they were caught by a ‘kiss cam’, a camera that is used in concerts to capture and show on a big screen people who are kissing during a performance. It is supposed to be an exciting moment. However, as soon as this couple saw themselves on the big screen, they panicked and covered their faces. Chris Martin, the singer of Coldplay, joked about their reaction: they are either very shy or have an affair, he said. Someone captured the ‘kiss cam’ moment and the singer’s comment in a video, and posted it on social media. The couple happened to also be colleagues, senior executives of a US company: the man was the Chief Executive Officer and the woman was Chief People Officer. As soon as the video was posted, and for days and weeks after that, they were publicly humiliated on social and mainstream media across the world for allegedly having an extramarital affair. Later on it emerged that at least one of them had already been separated from her partner. Never mind – too late for the moral outrage on social media. As soon as the Coldplay incident occurred, both were suspended from work. Soon after that, they resigned.’
